SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:20
Y Moisés, y Aarón, y toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, hicieron de los levitas conforme a todas las cosas que mandó el SEÑOR a Moisés acerca de los levitas; así hicieron de ellos los hijos de Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel , etc.] The several parties concerned in the consecration of the Levites: these did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses , so did the children of Israel unto them : which, as Jarchi notes, is said to the praise of them that did it, and of what was done by them; everything was done that was ordered, and in the manner in which it was prescribed; Moses sprinkled, or ordered to be sprinkled, the water of purification on them, and set them before the tabernacle, and before the Lord; the children of Israel laid their hands on them, and Aaron waved them, offered the sacrifices for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-26 - Here we have directions for the solemn ordination of the Levites. All Israel must know that they took not this honour to themselves, but wer called of God to it; nor was it enough that they were distinguishe from others. All who are employed for God, must be dedicated to him according to the employment. Christians must be baptized, minister must be ordained; we must first give ourselves unto the Lord, and the our services. The Levites must be cleansed. They must be clean tha bear the vessels of the Lord. Moses must sprinkle the water of purifying upon them. This signifies the application of the blood of Christ to our souls by faith, that we may be fit to serve the livin God. God declares his acceptance of them. All who expect to share in the privileges of the tabernacle, must resolve to do the service of the tabernacle. As, on the one hand, none of God's creatures are his necessary servants, he needs not the service of any of them; so non are merely honorary servants, to do nothing. All whom God owns, he employs; angels themselves have their services __________________________________________________________________
